Question

Bill has developmental dyslexia. His clinician at the Macquarie University Reading Clinic is trying to work out what would be the most appropriate treatment. She asked Bill to read a list of words and noticed that he has trouble reading some of the words but not others. Bill read 'quay' as '/kway/' , 'ready' as '/reedy/', 'island' as '/izland/'; he can read made up words such as 'smope', and 'norf' correctly, and he can also read words like 'dog', 'animal', 'tool', 'cat'. Bill's clinician also noted that Bill can keep up a good conversation with her and did not seem to have any difficulties in understanding her.

Account for the deficit Bill has in the context of the dual route model. Suggest what component(s) of the dual route model is (are) likely to be impaired and what tests you can do to localise the impairment. Based on the impairment, what other types of reading patterns would this child show? Finally, what kind of treatment would you suggest to help Bill.
